About the adventure
The Hellfire Crisis has dawned. The nation of Isger is being shaken up by the rebel organization the Hellbreakers League, which seeks to break Isger free of its oppressor and patron nation of infernal Cheliax. PCs will carry out daring missions against Chelaxian strongholds, face off with the deadly Hellknights, and strike out against the forces of Hell itself! On the way, they’ll run into dangerous enemies both new and old and uncover long-lost secrets powerful and ancient. Can the PCs stoke the fires of revolution and throw off the diabolic chains of Cheliax or will they be ground beneath the boot of oppression? Join the Hellbreakers and do your part! When the dust settles, martial law grips the core of Cheliax as grapples with the fallout of its actions. The PCs will have the opportunity to band together with Cheliax's most dangerous foes, bringing the empire to its very knees. Hell itself may get in their way, forcing the PCs to face a diabolic hierarchy and change the political landscape of Avistan forevermore! This campaign will play through the Hellbreakers and Hell's Destiny adventure paths, bringing player characters from level 1 all the way to level 20, and will feature the following variant rules: - Ancestry Paragon - Free Archetype

About me
I am experienced game master of 7 years, starting with dungeons and dragons, and then gaining experience with call of cthulhu and pathfinder, my current preferred systems. I love to create and share stories with others, and enjoy working both with players who want to play a game to win, and players who are looking to share a story and get deep into roleplaying.

Creating your character
Character creation will occur during session 0 of the campaign. Players are asked to bring concepts for their characters, including backstory and build. Session 0 will focus on building the characters into the server, determining if any characters already know one another, etc. Practically all ancestries, backgrounds, classes, and feats are available for use, however uncommon and rare options must be approved by the GM first. With the use of the Free Archetype variant rule, the only restriction is that any class dedication and feats (i.e. wizard, champion, witch, etc.) must be taken with your class slots, and not in the Free Archetype slots. The free player's guide can be found at the following link and contains recommendations for classes, ancestries, and backgrounds that will fit the campaign best: https://downloads.paizo.com/Hellbreakers_PlayersGuide.pdf
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need access to Discord, internet, a functioning microphone, and either headphones or earbuds. Sessions will take place in a discord voice call, and will also utilize the in-server chatbox in Foundry to communicate. Cameras are entirely optional.
What Jeriko brings to the table
I will provide a full discord server for the campaign, as well as a fleshed out gaming experience using the wealth of tools provided by Foundry VTT. A number of additional modules will be used to enhance player experience. I will also be recording sessions for uploading to youtube over the course of the campaign.
Homebrew rules
Full list of homebrew rules is available in the discord. Most important one for character building is a restriction on the Free Archetype variant rule - Multiclass dedications and their respective feats must be taken in class feat slots. Free Archetype is meant more for flavor and fleshing out additional aspects of your character's story.

Safety
How Jeriko creates a safe table
All players are welcome at my table, though this campaign assumes that players will have a certain level of experience with the system and rules! Session 0 will go over peoples' lines and veils, and an open dialogue will be kept throughout gameplay. My goal is to ensure that players always feel comfortable in my games, and know that they can come speak with me if they have a problem or something they need to discuss.
